To cite bibliographic information

A. Books.

1. Must appear author's last name in capital letters, comma, name, date in parentheses, period, title in italics, period, place of publication, colon, publisher, and period. For example:

COULON, Alain. (1988). La etnometodología. Madrid: Cátedra.

ELLIOT, John. (1989). La Investigación-acción en educación. Madrid: Morata.

2. When the place of publication is not a known capital, it is appropriate to cite the province, state, or country. For example:

COMES, Prudenci. (1974). Técnicas de expresión-1: Guía para la redacción y presentación de trabajos científicos, informes técnicos y tesinas, (2ª ed). Vilassar de Mar, Barcelona: Oikos-Tau.

FERNÁNDEZ SIERRA, Juan y Santos Guerra, M. Angel. (1992). Evaluación cualitativa de programas de educación para la salud. Archidona, Málaga: Aljibe.

3. If there is more than one author, all of them must be indicated in the Bibliographic References, separated by a semicolon (;) except for the last one, which is preceded by the conjunction 'and'. For example:

COOK, Thomas D. y REICHARDT, Charles S. (1986). Métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos en investigación educativa. Madrid: Morata.

GOETZ, Judith P. y Le COMPTE, Margaret D. (1988). Etnografía y diseño cualitativo en investigación educativa. Madrid: Morata.

4. In the body of the text, if the work has more than two authors, it is cited for the first time with all the surnames. In subsequent mentions, only the last name of the first author is written, followed by the phrase et al (and others). For example, "Bartholomew et al. (1982)", "Goetz et al. (1988)".
5. Sometimes the author is an organization or institution. In these cases, to avoid repetition, the reference is indicated at the end with the word "author". For example:

Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia (1989). Libro Blanco para la Reforma del Sistema Educativo. Madrid: Autor.

6. When it comes to classic works, of which a recent version has been consulted, but it is of interest to specify the year of the original version, it can be done in parentheses after the consulted reference. For example:

BACON, Francis. (1949). Novum Organum. Buenos Aires: Losada. (Versión Original 1620).

7. If a work has not been published but its soon publication is known, the expression "(in press)" is written instead of the date. For example:

RODRÍGUEZ ROJO, Martín (coord). (en prensa). Actas del Simposio Internacional sobre Teoría Crítica e Investigación/Acción. Universidad de Valladolid: Valladolid, 1-4 de noviembre.

8. If several volumes make up the publication, which has been published in several years, they are written separated by a hyphen. For example:

ARNAU, Juan (1981-1984). Diseños experimentales en psicología y educación, (2 Tomos). México: Trillas.

9. When they are compilations (readings), they will be specified after the name, compiler, editor, director, or coordinator. For example:

QUINTANA CABANAS, José M. (Coord.). (1986). Investigación participativa. Madrid: Narcea.

10. When citing a chapter of a book, which is a compilation (reading), the author of the chapter and its title are cited first, followed by the compiler (Comp.), editor (Ed.), or director (Dir.), coordinator (Coord.), title (pages in parentheses). Place of publication: and publisher, the same as in the reference of any book. For example:

GUBA, Egon G. (1983). Criterios de credibilidad en la investigación naturalista. En José Gimeno Sacristán y Angel Pérez Gómez (Comps.), La enseñanza: su teoría y su práctica (pp. 148-165). Madrid: Akal.

PÉREZ SERRANO, M. Gloria. (1990). Investigación-acción: Aplicaciones al campo social y educativo. Madrid: Dykinson.

The volume of the journal and the pages that the article occupies must be specified, separated by a hyphen. The volume and number of the journal will be specified, when each number begins with page one. For example:

2. In all other respects the standards are equivalent to those given by the book references.

 

C. Other documents.

1. If they are unpublished documents and their possible publication is unknown, they can be indicated with the word "unpublished". For example:

2. When it comes to communications and papers presented at Congresses, Seminars, Symposiums, Conferences, etc. author, title, and congress are specified, specifying if possible the month of celebration.

3. If the subsequent publication of the communication presented to a congress is known, it can also be specified. For example:

D. Alphabetical order.

1. Bibliographical references must be presented in alphabetical order by the name of the author, or first author if there are several.
